How much does the maintenance on a Tesla cost?

I am thinking about getting a Tesla, but I wonder how much the maintenance costs per year. Does a Tesla cost more or less to maintain per year than a gas car?

Shannon Martin · Updated on Oct 14, 2021

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

“You are in luck! Teslas have a much lower

cost of maintenance

than most other vehicles.

The average cost in the first year will be around $350 for things like a tire rotation and new windshield wipers. Teslas are battery-powered, so you save money right away since you will never have to worry about spark plugs and oil changes. Teslas don’t have as many moving parts that can break.

Keep in mind, a Tesla is basically a high-end computer on wheels. The software updates regularly, and if the car senses anything wrong, you will get a notification. Most of the time, issues can be handled remotely or by you with the help of mobile technicians. If the car needs to be serviced, you will need to use a Tesla repair shop to maintain your warranty.

Another way to keep the cost of your Tela affordable is by making sure you have the best

at the lowest price.

Good luck maintaining your car!”
